Welcome amb and lea!! Lots of sad stories on here. It is a tough decision to try again after a loss, but if we can get our rainbows it will be worth it.

Lea - I am 44 and my dh is 44 and I know the feeling of dh not wanting to try much longer. We have had miscarriages and then children and then we moved from WI to CO while I was pregnant. One week after the move I was delivering my stillborn son. We would have had a complete family if he would have lived. I had to find the strength to try again. Because of my age, we had to start trying earlier than I was ready emotionally. We tried for 5 cycles and got pregnant only to miscarry. Then, it took a year to conceive again with a cp and then my last miscarriage at 9 weeks. This isn't easy, but my desire to hold a baby again is far more than the emotional storm I am going through. I would say to talk things out, write things down and make sure you both are taking some good supplements. Good for you for taking the coq10 and doing acupuncture. I am taking the coq10 and went to acu last year. I think it really helped my body get back into place after Alexander was born. I haven't gone back yet, but I probably should. I will be taking femara next cycle and possibly ovidrel. Hang in there and vent away. We are here for you.

amb - We are here for you too!

Candace - So sorry about your appointment today. I hope the shot helps and you don't need surgery. Sorry it hurt so much, too. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Wow, it is so hard for me to catch up.

Sand - Glad you found your way over here.

Cathi - Yay for 2nd trimester!!!

Melissa - I love the pictures of your dog. They are so cute. My kids want another puppy after our black lab dies, but we need a little break from all the reponsibility. I loved the puppy stage.

I can't remember any more. I will just have to jump in again. I take BA every day and have since Alexander was born. As for Lovenox, I took 40 mg a day.

Lydia is going to launch the official December Miscarriage Support - TTC or Currently Pregnant post tomorrow morning. We'll keep the roll call document link at the top of each month's new post. Lydia, thank you for waiting patiently during the transition period. :)

Let's all wish Lydia and the other TTC ladies sticky BFP dust in December!!

Ladies, I'm feeling REALLY anxious about tomorrow. I am afraid this is going to be a very sleepless night. I am lucky that the appointment is at least first thing so that I don't have to struggle through my day waiting for the appointment. I'm just terrified. And even though I know it doesn't necessarily mean a thing, I want the breast tenderness to come back. I so wish I could be less anxious about all of this, but I guess it's to be expected. Anyway, thanks for all of your positive vibes and well wishes.

Candace- I'm glad having that pic makes you feel better. I didn't even think to ask for a copy of my US pic. Now I kind of wish I had :(. How are you feeling after your shot? Does it have side-effects?

Welcome Angela and Lea! We are going to have a lot of POAS parties within the next two weeks!

This is your month ladies! Shannon and Lola- From everything you've described I would bet you get positive BFPs within the next few days. So excited for you!

Sally - thanks for your comments. I am sorry for your losses as well. I can't imagine saying to goodbye to a full term baby. I am in CO as well and my son's name is Aiden too. I also want to do an "A" name for a sibling. So I think that is so cute that your kids all start with "A"

Mill - try to get some sleep. I know it is easier said than done. I can't wait to hear the good results in the morning. I am in CO too!!

I would agree with Chelsea - Shannon and Lola, sounds like you could be having pregnancy symptoms. I do hope that we all get our BFPs this month.

I hope the baby dust makes it to Pittsburgh!...lol Wishing all of us 2WW'ers lots of luck. I am going to try and hold off POAS till Wed. I hope I will make it. I don't have any tests at home so I think I will be OK

My name is Shannon. After having 5 miscarriages, my rainbow has arrived.

Amber and Lea- Welcome. I am sorry for your losses but glad that you have found this little haven of support and encouragement.

A little about me-I have an almost 3 yr old. We started TTC #2 in June 2011. I assumed that everything would go according to my plan but my world changed in Oct. 2011 when I went in for by 8 wk appointment. Baby measured 6 wk and hb was 88. I had to wait a week to confirm the mmc. I took misoprostol and miscarried at home. The next 8 months of TTC was really difficult on me and my DH. I won't sugarcoat it, I was a little obsessed with getting pg so I could "move on." I convinced myself that once I got pg again it would all be "over". I also had an unreasonable desire to have my kids be 2 yrs apart which added to my anxiety. I eventually found a therapist who specialized in loss which helped me alot. In late April 2012, I found myself pg again. I was excited for about 2 days before I knew something was wrong. The u/s at 7 wks showed a 6 wk baby with an hb of 88 (again). This time I had a d&c because I was never convinced that the misoprostol worked completely. Anyway, after 2 losses I went to an RE and got tested. The only thing that turned up was subclinical hypothyroidism. Because I had conceived in Aug (due in May) the first time and my 2nd mmc was in May, I told my DH we should just try in July 2012 since I didn't want to try in Aug. We both thought there was no way we would get pg on the first try this time but here we are 21 weeks later. I wish I had found this board earlier because I spent so much time thinking I was alone and this was only happening to me (especially after having a textbook 1st pg). The women here have so much knowledge and support to share.

Milly- I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Melissa- The pics of Piper and your DD are adorable. I have to keep chanting to myself "We cannot get a 3rd dog."

Mel- Thanks for asking about my scan. It was great. Baby is measuring about 5 days ahead. I also found out I have a posterior placenta this time which is why I am feeling so much movement this time. It is a whole different ball game. I cannot even imagine what this is going to feel like when he weighs a couple pounds.

Jackie- I hope you are settling in to your new apartment.

Sorry, these are not the best persies. Please know that I am thinking of you all.

Well, I am still a bit under the weather so I am going to hit the hay. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to our new December thread .
